Mencken lives

«All kinds of polluted thinking are tolerated today as never
before. "Balance" is the wedge, but the goal is a total
perversion of reality, a world where
2+2 may equal whatever
you -- or they -- want it to. It's affirmative action of
ideas, where weaker, less viable arguments are propped up,
artificially strengthened by repetition and volume, and lots of
money. But the bottom line is that it is stupid, and it's making
America stupid.»
